    Galsal, nbnotes and I got together last night for dinner.  I had a great time and always look forward to seeing members of our group.

    We discussed timing for next Saturday gathering.  How does Saturday, May 11 work?  We would need to do it later in the day because Miles for Moffitt is that day and some of the group participates in that.  That is also Mother's Day weekend so I don't know if that is a problem or not. 

    Alternatively, can we look at June 1?  We can do that one at my house or go to Cheesecake Factory, whichever people prefer.

    I'd love to meet everybody, June 1 would be good for me.



    Question? Anybody have LE? Silly me. Where or who do you do therapy? I'm seeing Mark with Morton Plant, but not happy with him.



    PM me if you want to take it off here thanks

    Spookiesmom, one vote for June 1 recorded!

    I saw Aubrene Fiore at Moffitt Cancer Center to get my LE under control.  I was very, very pleased with her.  I know SpecialK and others have gone to the LE therapists at Moffitt with great success.

    Saturdays are best for me, but I missed the SpecialK get-together because I was out of town, and I will be gone June 1 too. Sat, May 11 looks good so far (and also Sat, May 25, but no one mentioned that date).

    Just a fast note,

    The results came back normal!! Very thrilled to find this out, it may be a swollen lymph node and actually feels like its going down.

    Again, sorry to have missed Tuesday get together. Hope to see all of you soon.

    Dear Special K:  No worries!  In the middle of surgery business right now.  June 1st sounds good -- June 9th is my birthday!!  Is there an Eileen Fisher in Tampa?  I want to go flat-girl shopping, if it comes to that :)  In fact, I want to go shopping either way!

    Hi ladies,  just  stopped in to to say hi as I also live in the Tampa area (St Petersburg). I am fairly new to this site and I am scheduled for surgery on 4-30-13. Once I get over all the things that I am facing and back on my feet, I would love to join in on one one of the get together Cool.  I am a patient at Morton Plant and so far I have been very pleased with my care-however the waiting for surgery has been a little stressful though (DX 3-20). Hope everyone has a great day.

    Jude123  - Sorry that you had to join us, but we'd love to have you join us at a get together when you feel like it!  I had a little over a month between diagnosis and surgery so I understand how stressful that waiting can be.

    bobo - no Eileen Fisher - closest is Sarasota, but I think you can find her stuff at Nordstrom.  If we go to the Cheesecake Factory it is right there in the same location.

    jude  - welcome!

    Looks like June 1 works for most.  May 11 is Mother's Day weekend and May 25th is Memorial Day weekend. Ann, you need to be in town more. :(

    Next question is where we meet.  If we like private homes, we can do my house June 1, or we can alternate and go back to Cheesecake Factory. Be aware that I am not the caterer SpecialK so I might suggest a themed pot luck approach.  Thoughts?

    Yep, I'll be there! Where ever there is!?! I don't know where Cheesecake Factory is either, you all decide. Pot luck works too.

    Ann, enjoy that new grandson!  How wonderful it is to see such great life events occur.

    Spookiesmom, the Cheesecake Factory is at International Mall in Tampa, near the airport. And I live in Tampa.
